# Compose an image with GPT-Image 2.

In the Eluai catalogue, image2 is the GPT-Image 2 (also written GPT-image-2) creation entry. Start from text or connect a reference image in a supported operation; check settings and estimated credits first.

## What can you create?

### Create an image from text

Describe subject, composition, color and lighting to draft a poster, illustration or cover.

### Edit with a reference

Connect a reference in a supported operation and separate what to retain from what to change.

### Leave room for layout

Specify negative space and subject position, then check text and finish the layout separately.

## Creative workflow

1. **Define the image purpose** — Specify the purpose, target frame and subject rather than compressing every requirement into one phrase.

2. **Describe visual details** — Add scene, materials, color, lighting and negative space; state preservation requirements for reference edits.

3. **Choose image2** — Confirm the image2 entry associated with GPT-Image 2 in the catalogue, then choose available settings.

4. **Confirm and review** — Review credits before submitting, then check generated text, people, products and actual download dimensions.

## Examples and prompts

These prompts are examples. The images are AI-generated illustrations, not customer case studies; results depend on the model, references and settings.

### Example: minimalist product poster

A blue ceramic mug on an off-white background, soft natural light from the left, subject low in frame, empty space above for a title, minimalist photography, no text.

### Example: change a reference background

Retain the reference mug’s outline, color and handle direction. Change the background to a light wooden table with soft window light; add no branding or text.

## Before delivery

- Product structure, text and marks may change; compare with the original material when accuracy matters.

- Selected sizes and actual file dimensions may differ; inspect the downloaded result.

## Review credits before generation

Review the live estimate before each generation. Usage varies with the model, settings and count.
